grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It may just be a very quiet pump, you can't hear the bilge pumps running, just the slosh of water outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Now someone wanted pictures, so I went ahead and took some, then the doh moment, camera tablet, so I took a few more to keep you going. Oops last one is a bit dark, but shows how airy it is when you take the screens out and open up the hatch.model #2makesvan appearance on the shelf above the engine, just made to fit. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockatoo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It's emptied itself somehow, either it's a totally silent pump or gravity was involved.My shower pump is very quiet, and automatic. You'd be hard pushed to hear it unless you lift the deck boards. :)Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Now strangely enough for a boat with a bare 6' headroom, the bed was lovely, with room to spare, a good 6'6" plus and comfortable to boot, I slept in to 5am this morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Comfortably moored up at Pye's mill under a tree, in the midst of a group of dailies whose masts wouldn't clear the tree. Books have been read, and bread rolls made, forum caught up with, and generally a relaxed day. I only got wet once on Breydon when spray came over the bow. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 What's a 'dailie'? Is it a new type of sail boat that turns into a proper boat at night? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have just noticed something that may VB turn out to be a problem once I get to beccles, this nice sparkling new transom, I wonder how long it will look that good, with no fenders to protect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I only have 3 each side, I might be able to nick the stern ones. But the only thing to hang them off is the cleats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just spotted a boat turn up at lodden at 8 pm, no room at the inn of course so they were haring back down the Chet at a fair rate, bets on whether they find somewhere to moor before dusk. They certainly won't make it to hardly cross before they should have stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Put it this way it's officially dusk anytime now, and they were headed back up the Chet just a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 We stopped at Loddon a couple of nights ago and only 6 on the staithe and around 8 at pyles mill. Still an empty spot behind us to night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the time of year, there always seems to be someone still on the move at dusk when they could have safely moored hours ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
